OVERVIEW

High-Performance Welding with Exocor ER2594

For professional welders tackling super duplex stainless steel projects, the Exocor ER2594 TIG rod is the definitive choice for achieving high-quality, defect-free welds. Super duplex alloys like 2507 are known for being difficult to weld if the correct consumables and procedures aren't used. This rod is specifically formulated to address those challenges. The composition includes elevated levels of Chromium, Molybdenum, and Nitrogen, alongside an intentional Nickel boost. This chemistry promotes the formation of austenite during cooling, preventing the weld from becoming too ferritic, which would otherwise lead to a loss of toughness and corrosion resistance. The result is a weld deposit that is tough, ductile, and incredibly resistant to cracking.

When you are under the hood, you will appreciate the smooth running characteristics of the Exocor ER2594. It produces a stable arc with minimal spatter, allowing for precise puddle control—a must-have when welding expensive pipe or critical fittings. The 36-inch cut lengths are standard for manual TIG welding, and the stamped identification on the rod ends (where applicable) helps prevent material mix-ups in the shop. This filler metal flows wet and clean, helping you achieve a flat, aesthetically pleasing bead profile that requires minimal post-weld cleaning. It is compatible with 100% Argon shielding gas, though specialized mixtures like Argon-Helium can be used to improve penetration and wetting in thicker sections.

Beyond joining super duplex to itself, this rod is a problem-solver for dissimilar joints. If you need to weld a super duplex component to a standard 2205 duplex or even a 300-series stainless, ER2594 is often the recommended filler to ensure the joint remains the strongest link. Its high tensile strength (typically exceeding 110,000 PSI) ensures that the weldment can withstand extreme mechanical loads. Packaged in a robust 10lb tube, these rods stay straight and clean until you are ready to use them. Upgrade your welding arsenal with Exocor ER2594 and deliver results that stand up to the harshest elements.

Why Choose Exocor ER2594?

FAQ

ER2594 is primarily used for welding super duplex stainless steels (like UNS S32750 and S32760) to themselves or to other stainless alloys.

The rod is overalloyed with 2-3% more Nickel to promote the formation of austenite in the weld metal, ensuring a proper phase balance (approx. 50% ferrite, 50% austenite) for optimal corrosion resistance and toughness.

Yes, ER2594 can be used to weld standard duplex 2205 (ER2209). It is often preferred for root passes or critical joints to provide superior corrosion resistance.

100% Argon is the standard shielding gas. However, Argon/Helium or Argon/Nitrogen mixtures can be used to improve penetration or phase balance in specific applications.

This specific product is 0.093 inches in diameter, which is approximately 2.4mm or 3/32 inches.

Generally, super duplex stainless steels are used in the as-welded condition. PWHT is typically not required unless specified by a particular code or procedure, as improper heat treatment can form detrimental phases.

The Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number (PREN) for ER2594 is typically greater than 40, indicating exceptional resistance to pitting corrosion.
